Following all the conversations on here and in other places, it's very clear we all use Linux (yay! \o/), but it's also clear the reasons we do vary wildly.
So, why do you use Linux?
It's all meant to be rather light-hearted, please don't take it too seriously.

edit: Btw switched to linux in 2007, never looked back. With windows i never felt like im in control of my OS, was the main reason.

So basically, Windows just stopped being what I was looking for in a desktop and by 2002 Gnome had caught up far enough to serve as the main desktop.
